Top Down trip to Breakfast
Took the 03 A/E Vert to my brothers this morning at 0700 for breakfast and BS session.
Put the top down and passed 3 Vettes along the way and went 3 for 3 on waves!
1 C5
1 C6
1 C4
That's it
just see a lot of "the wave is dead" threads and was shocked to go 3 for 3

back in the Navy we used to say:
choose your rate, choose your fate. Meaning you picked your job and the fact it sux is kind of your own fault, To drive that home the fact that I am in the shop wearing a tee shirt and you are looking at a big jacket to go outside is kind of the same...
Move south...
Look at the money you could spend on parts and mods year round

Way too cold to take the top off of the car around here. I'll just have to imagine what it is like until warmer weather arrives.
